FlyFly Models

Hi I would keep well away from them. They have very weak wings the wings joiner tubes in the wings are only fixed to the ribs and not the spars and the fuselages can sometimes be weak. It is a shame if they spent a few more ? they could have built a nice glider.

I have the Fox and the Salto, and have electrified them both (no slope nearby). They both fly well, but I did open up the wings to reinforce them, and then recovered with white profilm.

The Salto has no flaps like the Fox does, and lands a bit fast especially on a dead calm day, even with airbrakes. So as Andy mentioned of his Salto, I'm also considering fitting flaps for crow braking.

Hi have you thought about a pat teakle glider they are about ?370 and they fly great but you do have to build them yourself has they are only a basic kit. Glass fuselage and foam wings tail and canopy. I have a vega .dart and asw 20.

So which Fly Fly glider did you buy in the end? I bought a FF Fox some while ago but I haven't got around to putting it together as yet. It has a very good quality finish overall but it is often what you can't see that is important!

It isn't just Gliders UK who haven't replied to emails, one of the glider suppliers who advertises on here, didn't reply to my email, then, when I rang in the middle of the day, an auto message said they were busy & to ring back. I bought the model from France, cost me £10 more than the UK supplier, but at least I got it. Maybe they don't like committing to written replies?

As a Seller, and connection to a couple of Businesses, sadly,

General Email enquiries very very often lead to nothing, maybe pulling a figure from the air, 1%?

An enquiry Email can be complex and require some time, thought, and research to answer, maybe 10 minutes on a good day

So you sit for over an hour answering 10 emails, and then how many sales do you make from it?

None, very very often, the hour spent on emails results in nothing.

This is soul destroying for the Shop, and we draw straws for the resultant waste of time

i would have thought it was part of the "service" replying to an e-mail....then again I sent a genuine enquiry to one of the well know lads who advertises on here and in the mags two weeks ago.....result...nothing...no reply.
